One of the great celebrations of The Fictionary is the living word, the ability of language to grow and evolve, to find fertile ground and flourish. For, one of the many fictions of language is that it remains static, i.e. that language does not change. Dictionaries have a certain posture to them that make them seem authoritative and writ in stone, but they are not. They change too. The Fictionary celebrates this, and as inspiration and time permits, we join in this celebration with these many new additions to our vlast and vagueried flexicon. As ever, enjoy!
